this is a legal issue - the language comes from a long ago US court case
in addition to what Brian brings out
“reasonably’ also refers to what someone should, by their job, know - i.e. a
company
can not purposely keep someone in the dark to avoid disclosure requirements

To clarify this, I would propose deleting the phrase "reasonably and" in
Section 5.1.2.
I would object very strongly to this deletion. We have always said
"reasonably and
personally known" to make it clear that nobody is expected to go to
unreasonable
lengths to discover the existence of IPR. For anyone who works for a large
company,
it is clearly unreasonable for them to be aware of all IPR owned by that
company,
and this phrase covers that case nicely, especially given that we all
participate
and contribute here as individuals, even if we happen to use a corporate email
address. This phrase has stood the test of time and should not be changed.
